Itinerary
Day 1
Choose one meeting option below. The program includes briefing and gear fitting, guided canyoning on Cetina River, and return to the designated meeting point.
Meeting point — Split (transfer provided)
Meet the guide at the Prokurative (Republic of Croatia Square) stairs in Split. This meeting option includes group transfer by air-conditioned minivan to the Zadvarje base and return drop-off to the same meeting point. Guides confirm final departure and return times on the day.
Tips from local experts:
- Arrive 10 minutes before the scheduled start to find the guide and confirm names — the meeting point is the stairs at Prokurative (Republic of Croatia Square).
- Wear your swimsuit under light clothes; bring a small towel and a change of clothes for the return journey.
- If you do not have suitable firm shoes for the canyon, you can rent canyoning shoes at the Zadvarje storage on arrival (rental handled at the base).
Meeting point — Iris Adventures Base (Zadvarje, no transfer)
Meet directly at the Iris Adventures storage/warehouse in Zadvarje. This option is for guests arriving independently. Guides will fit gear and run the safety briefing on site before entering the canyon.
Tips from local experts:
- Plan to arrive 10 minutes early at Ulica Hrvatskih Branitelja 57 so guides can complete paperwork and begin gear fitting on time.
- Bring a form of ID and wear swimwear under comfortable clothing; expect wet shoes and clothing after the canyon.
- If you need canyoning shoes, ask at the storage on arrival — rentals are available at the Zadvarje base.
